As the 2.8 V6 is such a lazy old hector a remap should be just what it needs to make it less pedestrian.

So far I've spoken with.

Superchips.

Quantum.

Celtic tuning.



Does anyone have personal experience of a remap, be it petrol or derv?

[Field Marshal Dr. Opti]

Costs average out in the £300-£350 region.

This does not include rolling road (Dyno) 'before and after' power and torque figures.

The only experience I have had was with another car club. We did a RR day, one of the guys with a diesel wanted his car remapping, being nosey I stopped around to see it done. His was dyno'ed before and after, although I don't remember the gains. The price was £150, although that was 2/3 years ago. From speaking to the guy, other companies use him to write maps for them.

I will add the following day the guy who had the remap had a problem. I was nearby anyway fixing another car and took a look for him. As you can imagine the owner of the car was less than impressed. I rang the guy from the remap place, who was insistent that it wasn't the remap, but he would drive 50 miles to where the car was to check it over for the owner the following day. I thought this was a shining example of good service. As it happens, I found a vacuum end had perished and cracked, a quick swap and the car was running great again.

You won't forget to tell your insurance company........will you?

Apparently turbo diesels give the best gains followed by turbo petrol.

Quite nice to drive and very roomy.

The performance is adequate but you can tell it has a cork up it's arse that needs removing.

Have you tried dream science? i have spoken to this company in the past whilst at ford fair,and seem very good.
Also get an emissions test done after.

[05omegav6]

Might consider swapping the slushbox for a proper gearbox whilst you're at it...

[chrisgixer]

Check the max torque load of that gay fwd auto before going any further Dr.
